Uninitialized dummy variable making build impossible

[dormail]

I was trying to build KENSv3 and got the same error on both Fedora 35 and Ubuntu 21.10, where a variable is used uninitialized.

[ 26%] Built target routing

My lazy fix was to change line 1299 in the file from
int dummy;
to
int dummy = 0;
however since those are build files it is only a temporary fix.

Hi,

It is GoogleTest's bug: google/googletest#3219 .
I'll update GoogleTest in the future release.

Thanks

I updated GoogleTest to its head. (https://github.com/ANLAB-KAIST/KENSv3/releases/tag/v3.3.1)
Please, use latest copy of KENS.

If the issue persists, please reopen.
